I haven't pulled heavy in a few weeks and I could tell starting up. I worked up to a single at 585 which felt way heavier than it should have. So, I went back to 495 and pulled a few reps vs bands, increasing tension every rep.

Deadlift 135x2 225x2 315x2 405x2 495x1 545x1 585x1

WAY heavier than it should have been. I feel like I pull best when I deadlift on a weekly basis.

I took a plate off and went back to 495. Deadlift 495 vs light band x1 495 vs light band and mini band x 1 495 vs 2 light bands (per side) x1 495 vs 2 light bands and mini band x 1

The last pull was pretty heavy at the top. It did feel good to strain under all of that band tension.

Rack Pull ( used a rackable cambered bar for this and it actually worked really well while standing on a 25lb bumper plate.)

I didn't do any more accessory work because I plan to squat on Sunday. (This was done on Friday).
